Massive Crocodile Holds Up Traffic To Cross Road

Check out this huge crocodile in the Kakadu National Park (NT Australia). When something like that is crossing the road, you stop and wait! The footage shows a giant crocodile slowly making its way across an elevated river road blocking the cars. As the scaly critter makes contact with the road across the lake a small car approaches, hoping to cross this road. The huge beast is just peacefully making its way and it is not interested in any cars. He appears to have no goal in mind other than crossing the road - a feat that he achieves at a painfully slow rate.

Barely indistinguishable among the rocks jutting out of the water, the large reptile's head nudges closer to the slightly submerged path. However, seemingly alarmed by the presence of the snapper the driver grinds to a halt as the crocodile hauls itself up onto dry land and begins its journey to the other side. But, unfortunately for the waiting car, the the reptile comes to a stop right in the middle of the road - the crossing proving just too exhausting. Luckily, it is just a brief stop, even crocodiles have to take a breath while performing such an incredible tasks. This is not something we see every day, it is astonishingly unbelievable sight!

Slowly but surely the croc reaches the other side, splashing back into the water allowing the cars to go on with their journey. Did you know that the largest crocodile in captivity was 20 ft 3 in (6.17 m), and weighed 2,370 lbs (1,075 kg)? It was called Lolong and he was also the biggest crocodile ever measured from snout-to-tail.
